ST. JOHN, THE DIVINE,
TO RE THE NAME OF A CATME.
DRAL
To be Butlt by the Episcopal Church
on an Eligible Site I'm New
York City.

NEW YORK, June 4.-The build
ing of a great Protestant Episcopal
Cathedral in New York City has long
been a favorite project with the
church authorities here and the
many liberal and charitable members
of that prosperous and Furnishing de-
nomination. The scheme has been
pushed quietly for the last three or
four months, and the trustees have
made progress enough, as they think,
with subscriptions and promises of
support to put the plan be-
fore che public. Bishop Potter issued
an address last night setting forth
the need for and purposes of the new
cathedral. 1t will be broadly nation
al and popular in character and SER
vices and a most noble and striking
ornament INTELLECTUALLY to the city.
The bishops address was issued
rather unexpectedly late last light,
and so secret has the whole
plan been kept that it will
come as surprise to most
Of the churshmen even in this
diocese. The new building will be
called the Cathedral of St. JOHN, the
Divine. Few details except that it
must be built in some conspicuous
and fitting part Of the city have been
decided upon. The structure will
probably cover two ordinary blocks
and will, of course, be many years in
building. The style will be gothic,
but no designs or plans have been
drawn. If carried out on the scale
promised, the Cathedral of st. John,
the Divine, will be about four times
as large as st. Patrick's. The choir
will be built first, perhaps. 1t alone
will cover as much ground as
Old Trinity. The whole build
ing, it is estimated, will cost So
100000 Several hundred thousand
dollars have already been raised by
subscription. The givers are not all
of the Protestant Episcopal Church.
d. Willis James, a Presbyterian, for
instance, has put his name down for
100000; and other subscriptions are
looked forward to confidently from
Methodists, Congregationalists, Bap-
fists, Unitarians, men of all creeds
and faiths, who may find interest
enough in the great building as a
piece Of much needed architectural
art
